What Is Upneeq?®

Upneeq® (oxymetazoline hydrochloride ophthalmic solution 0.1%) is an alpha adrenergic receptor agonist. In everyday terms, it’s a medical-grade eye drop that stimulates the muscles in the upper eye lids. This leads to the appearance of a lifted brow, wider eyes, and a more symmetrical eye shape. Results last for 8 hours, meaning it’s perfect for every day use or for special occasions when you want to feel your best. Better yet, you can easily purchase Upneeq® in LA at our office!

Side Effects of Upneeq®/Important Safety Information

While Upneeq® was developed by an optometrist and is considered extremely safe, it’s important to be aware of the potential side effects — as with any medical-grade product.

Ptosis (aka, drooping eye lids) may not just be a sign of age or genetics. It may be associated with neurologic or orbital diseases such as stroke and/or cerebral aneurysm, Horner syndrome, myasthenia gravis, external ophthalmoplegia, orbital infection and orbital masses. You should always consult a medical professional and rule these out as options before trying Upneeq®.

Upneeq® is a considered an alpha-adrenergic agonists, which is a medication class that may impact blood pressure. Patients using Upneeq® who suffer from cardiovascular disease, orthostatic hypotension, and/or uncontrolled hypertension or hypotension should seek medical care if their condition worsens. Upneeq® may increase the risk of angle closure glaucoma in patients with untreated narrow-angle glaucoma. Patients should seek immediate medical care if signs and symptoms of acute narrow-angle glaucoma develop.

Patients should not touch the tip of the single patient-use container to their eye or to any surface, in order to avoid eye injury or contamination of the solution. Clients should also remove contacts when applying the drops (though you can reinsert them immediately after applying).

Adverse reactions occurred in 1-5% of patients treated with Upneeq®. These reactions included punctate keratitis, conjunctival hyperemia, dry eye, blurred vision, instillation site pain, eye irritation and headache. Overall, however, Upneeq® users report that the drops make their eyes feel “more awake” and do not affect one’s ability to move the eye in any way.
